UIButton Touch and Hold

Question

I haven\'t found a very easy way to do this. The ways I\'ve seen require all these timers and stuff. Is there any easy way I can hold a UIButton and cause it to repeat the

I know this is an old question, but as an easy way, like to consider using "[NSObject performSelector:withObject:afterDelay:]" to repeatedly invoke methods in any particular time interval.

In this case:

NSTimeInterval someTimeInterval = 1;

- (IBAction)action:(id)sender {
    UIButton * const button = sender;
    if (button.state != UIControlStateHighlighted) {
        return;
    }
    [NSObject cancelPreviousPerformRequestsWithTarget:self selector:_cmd object:sender];
    [self performSelector:_cmd withObject:sender afterDelay:someTimeInterval];
}
